Oberon is visiting the Floating Island.
After eating fluffy pancakes…
“Whew… I’m stuffed…”
My body has shrunk. My Ideal Manifestation Ability has activated.
“The ability to turn ideals into reality… huh…”
I told Oberon about the Ultimate Skill granted to this Floating Island.
“That’s… an incredible power, isn’t it?”
“I guess so…”
“I guess so…? Aren’t you scared to be suddenly given such great power?”
“Scared?”
I wonder why. Why?
“Because… even a single mistake of yours could cause a major incident, right? For example, if you get a little angry and kill someone you feel a little murderous intent towards…”
…Ah.
“I see.”
“I see!?”
“I guess that could happen.”
“So casual…! Mika God-sama… I’ve been thinking this for a while, but aren’t you a little too casual about things!?”
I wonder what “things” means.
“Mogumogu… Isn’t it your words and attitude?”
“Sinri… since when…”
Sinri, the Home Security Guard who’s always holed up at home, was eating pancakes next to me.
“Why are you here?”
“I’ve been doing brain work. I need sweets. Mogumogu…”
“Brain work…?”
“I was glued to Eck●’s timeline, showing the ignorant the knowledge of God.”
Isn’t that the creepy person who posts shitty replies that you often see on the Ecks timeline…?
“Are you… bored?”
“Well, yeah. It’s peaceful lately. Seira, Luciel, and Licia are working hard on the management of Ende.”
…Huh?
“You’re running Ende with those members?”
“Yes.”
“Eh, I didn’t hear about that.”
“Eh, I didn’t say anything.”
Ah, Aieeeeeeeeee…?
Why?
“Why didn’t you tell me…?”
“Eh, is it necessary? Do you want to run a country?”
“Well, I don’t want to, but…”
“Right?”
“I see…”
I look up at the sky and say,
“Oh, well, whatever.”
“It’s not okayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy!”
Oberon shouts and interjects.
“Mika God-sama, you’re the top of this country, right!?”
“W-Well, yeah…”
“Your subordinates are doing as they please and running the country!? It’s not okay to just say ‘whatever’!”
“N-Now, now… calm down… here, eat a pancake.”
I stick a pancake with a fork and offer it.
Oberon eats it, mogumogu…
“Master Mika has a high ability to solve problems, but she is an amateur in national administration. So, I’m running it alone.”
“Why are you saying that with a smug look on your face? You’re completely running wild on your own! The king takes responsibility when something happens!?”
“Well…”
“Well!? Please have a little more awareness as a subordinate of the king!”
“S-Sorry…”
Oh, Sinri is overwhelmed by Oberon…
“Good job, Oberon. Tell her more.”
“That goes for you too, Mika God-sama! Please have more awareness and responsibility as the king of the country! It’s outrageous to leave the management to your subordinates!?”
“Y-Yeah, that’s right… I should be a little more interested… right?”
I glance over.
“Don’t glance! Be more interested! You’re in a position to protect the refugees and the people of allied countries who have come to rely on you, right!?”
“Y-Yeah, that’s right…”
I was definitely a little too indifferent…
Sinri does things on her own authority.
“If the top two of the country are such duds… the country will be destroyed…”
“Hmm. Oberon. That’s a bit rude.”
Oh, Sinri. You’re doing something commendable by protecting me.
“I am a super-high-performance AI created by Omniscient and Omnipotent (Internet). Master aside, I am high-performance. I am not a dud.”
Is that self-defense?
“No matter how high-performance you are, proceeding with important matters without consulting the top is nothing but being a dud. Besides, didn’t you make a similar mistake the other day? Making the same mistake and not correcting it. Where is the high performance in that?”
T-That’s true… Now that you mention it, something like this happened before…
Sinri’s eyes are teary, and she clings to me while trembling.
“What?”
“Master, I was bullied by this guy… I want to Wrath of God (Indignation)!”
“Absolutely not…”
But to be able to defeat a high-performance AI in an argument. Oberon, you’re a scary child…
Besides, you’re quite reliable…
Ah.
“That’s right. Oberon. Why don’t you work for me?”
“Huh…? What is it, so suddenly?”
“Well, you know, the top two are duds in this country.”
“That’s right.”
I’ve been easily acknowledged… Well, it’s a fact.
“Seira-chan, Licia-chan, and Luciel, who are reliable, are also field commanders, so we don’t have anyone in a support position to kick our butts or support us.”
“So… you’re scouting me?”
“That’s right, that’s right. What do you think?”
If Oberon is here, she’ll tell me if these duds are running wild.
“A request from Mika God-sama, who has given me great kindness. How could I refuse?”
“Then…”
“I humbly accept.”
“Oh, thanks. You’re a big help.”
“Well, yeah. After coming here today, I clearly judged that it would be dangerous to leave these two alone.”
Dangerous… huh. Well, yeah, I guess so. The top is a dud…
“Mika God-sama, I have a request.”
“Okay. Tell me.”
“Would it be okay for me to return to the fairies once and decide on the next Fairy King before coming here?”
“Huh? What do you mean…? Hey, Sinri.”
Sinri was sitting in a triangular position, muttering to herself.
“Sinri-san?”
“I am a high-performance AI. A super-excellent AI comparable to Sky●net…”
“Hey, come back to me.”
According to Sinri…
Apparently, the fairies are currently leaving Alfheim and looking for a new land.
“Why? You can just live in Alfheim as before.”
“After the Magic Bugs disappeared, the number of people coming and going has increased.”
“Ah… I see. Alfheim has abundant resources, right?”
“Yes.”
I see, so the people of Madukasu have started to frequently enter and leave Alfheim.
“Fairies are originally timid. They are afraid of people. So… they were looking for the next new land.”
“I see… you’re looking for a new place where there are no people.”
“Yes. If I’m stuck here, I can’t take care of the fairies. So, it’s necessary to elect the next Fairy King (leader).”
I understand the situation. But… is that such a difficult thing?
“Hey, Oberon. Shouldn’t all the fairies just live here?”
“On this Floating Island…?”
“That’s right. Because only I and my Familiars can enter here. It’s flying in the sky. People can’t easily enter, right?”
I think it’s a very convenient environment for fairies to live in.
“I-I see… but, is that okay? This is a special land where the king lives…”
“It’s okay, it’s okay. It’s not such a grand place.”
I don’t intend to let in dangerous people or people who use this power to make money.
Or bad people who hurt my friends.
But…
“You’re my friend, right? So… it’s okay.”
That’s when it happened.
Paaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!
“Heh…?”
Oberon’s body began to shine brightly.
What was there was…
Oberon, who had grown to human size.
“S-Sinri! What’s going on here…?”
I shake Sinri, who is moping at my feet.
“…Apparently, by recognizing him as a friend, you made the Fairy King your Familiar and evolved him into a Lesser God.”
“Just by saying we’re friends!? You made him a God!?”
“…Yes. Fairies were originally demigods. So, they evolved and became Gods.”
I s-see…
“Eh, but, isn’t it necessary to register with Let’s Become Familiars…?”
“The AI’s automatic support function has been activated. We have programmed it to unconditionally make anyone who becomes Master’s friend a Familiar.”
Is that your doing…! Sinriiiii!
“…Mika God-sama.”
Oberon kneels in front of me.
“Please let me work here. Please let my subordinates live here.”
“O-Okay…”
I feel a pressure that doesn’t allow me to say no, and I nod.
I was planning to put them there anyway, so it’s fine…
“And please allow me to place several monitoring fairies under Sinri.”
“M-Monitoring?”
You don’t have to go that far…
“I understand very well now! Omniscient and Omnipotent (Internet) is dangerous if it is not properly managed!”
Well, yeah, it’s Divine Power.
“It’s no good to leave that dud alone!”
Oberon points at Sinri sharply.
“W-What did you say… a dud? H-How disrespectful! I am the administrator of Omniscient and Omnipotent (Internet)?”
“Your management is way too lax! It runs wild on its own, and it’s programming things on its own!”
“B-But… it’s because its owner is a lazy bum…”
“Sinri, you’re just as bad!”
“What… did you say…?”
Sinri muttered with a stunned expression.
“Mika God-sama, from now on, I’ll be supporting the two of you as your secretary.”
“Y-Yes, please do. I’m counting on you… you’re so reliable, it’s a great help…”
Because there’s no one reliable on the Floating Island.
And so, Fairy King Oberon and the fairies became residents of this Floating Island.
